Jayhawkers Trim Baker 18-3 For First Baseball Victory of the Season
BELL-owings by JIM BELL Kansas Sports Editor
This column's personal congratulations go to the "K" Club for the funniest dramatic performance ever presented at the ole state U. We started laughing when Howard Engleman first spoke a pathetic word in his booming baritone and didn't stop until the Famous Four quartet announced that it was time to go home.
The star of the production is, without a doubt, handsome John Narra-
mort as the dying brother of the hero who always arrives in the nick of time to avert certain death last night rested no longer whenever he struck his noble pose and tossed the dastardly villian — Fred Bosticave across the stage. If you haven't

seen the play, hock the family heirlooms, sell your room mate's best suit, rob your little sister's penny bank or do anything to rack up the necessary two bits and be on hand tonight or Friday.
Well, the big day is hard at hand.
This afternoon hundreds in town for
the nationally know Kansas Relays
For the next two days, Lawrence
will be track center of the United
States. More than 3,000 young men will be
giving their hearts to stand on the
victors platform Saturday.
Yesterday the Kansas gave the Texas U. team a big build up. This morning we learned, much to our chagrin, that most of the Texas squad is on the injury list or in a slump. Beefus Bryan has been having a tough time. Last week in a triangular meet he couldn't jump any higher than 13 feet. Jud Atchison is in poor shape and Gilliam Graham, javelin man, is suffering from an injured shoulder. To top all of this, Coach Clyde Littlefield is confined to a hospital with pneumonia.
Hit and Miss! This column picks Wichita E to nose up Toopka for the class A high school title and for M. Hope to dethrone Kiowa in the class B competition... Undoubtedly the most overworked and unappreciated fellow at Kansas these days is Cal Sutton, very capable senior student manager of the Relays... He has been spending about 23 out of 24 hours a day working for a successful carnival... He gets able assistance from his teammates are Sam Sifers and Bruce Vronar. The real credit for the success of the Relays each year should go to Ed Elbel, manager of the meet... As Cal Sutton says, without Ed the Relays would flop. The Relays are responsible for the act that the Kansas stadium is built the way it is and not as an oval. When Dr. Forrest C. Allen and his assistants were designing it, he had the Relays in mind and realized that it would be better to leave one end of it open for a 220 straight away. The stadium is modeled after that at the University of Pennsylvania, Coach Cooper, Jayhawker baseball coach, will go to Nixport next year to coach high schools. ... Most of his friends thought he would go to Salina. Our nomination for the funniest looking pair of male legs on the campus goes to Bobbie Hunt, diminutive basketball player . . .
- Brass, Evans and Burge Handcuff Baldwin Horschiders to Win Easily; Game Features Triple by Larry Hensley and Double Play by Pat Holcom and Jack Sands
By Paul Anderson, c'41
The Jayhawkers unleashed some of their hidden power yesterday at the expense of the Baker Wildeats when they pounded their victims for 18 runs while allowing only 3 in return.
After scoring 3 runs in the first inning as the result of a walk, a single and a triple by Jack Hensley, the men of Mt. Oread coasted through the remainder of the game, scoring in every inning. Coach Ralph Conger gave his men plenty of practice and used many substitutions in order to determine the strength of
some of the reserves. The fielding of the Jayhawkers was much improved over that displayed in the Kansas State game, but the hitting was limited to singles, except for the triple by Hensley.
Brass started on the mound for the Jayhawkers and allowed only one hit in 4 innings. He was succeeded by Evans, who encountered difficulty when he allowed the first two batters to reach base. The third batter caught hold of a fast ball and sent it for a home run, thereby accounting for the Baker scoring. John Burge, a Jayhawk pitcher, came into the game and checked all further hits by the Baker-ites.
One o the feature plays of the day came in the third inning when Holo-cam caught a long fly in left field and threw perfectly to Jack Sandes at first to catch a runner off base for a double play.
The next game for the Jayhawkers is with Rockhurst. It will be played here Monday.
Former Freshman Coach to Wichita
Ralph Conger, Jayhawker freshman coach, will take over a new job as football coach at East High School of Wichita next year. His appointment followed a shakeup of staffs of the Wichita high schools.
Enger takes over the work of ED Wood, former coach of all athletics at Lawrence high school, who will retain his post as basketball coach.

- Joyhawkers Favored To Win Easy in Both Events; Bob Buster and Engleman in Top Spots
While the dearth is taking place Saturday morning in the Memorial Stadium, the Jawahar golf and tennis team is coming to town and courts respectively.
Meet Wichita Golf and Tennis Teams Tomorrow
Last Saturday, due to the bad weather, the matches were called off. The golf team of Captain Bob Busler, Jack Newsley, Mort Jones, and Bill Udell lost to the University of Oklahoma fourseason last week but the Yajhawks are favored over the smaller school Saturday.
The team will be led by Captain Busler, who plays number one position on the link team. Busler lost only two matches last year and was the only Kansan who won against Okada. The second was Bill Ceaq, Bir Six champion, 2-1.

Athletes will be warming up or participating in their favorite events. Judges and officials will be giving directions and running about mady trying to keep everything functioning smoothly. Spectators will be scanning their programs to find out what they need, and then to pick a participant to win. Yet underneath this confusion everything will be well organized and synchronized. For several weeks Ed Elbel, assistant professor of physical education and intramural manager, has been working with his staff of assistants, making programs, schedules of events, directions to participate in games, setting that being to the different schools that are going to compete.
Not Many Press Notices
Elbel, without entering into the public eye, has been the man behind the scenes of the Relays and much of the efficiency and smoothness of the University's most noted event. The university will be making an effort to make them a success. For 35 years the high schools of the state have participated in a meet at the University which has grown into the preliminary of the more famous Relays. Many high school stars perform and make record s finals in the college men who participate on the following day.
It is on the high school meet that a great deal of Elibel's time is spent. There are many schools who enter only a few participants and each one must be informed what to do and instructed how and when to do
